The companies within the Martin & Servera group have a common vision – to be the restaurant's best partner.

We constantly try to optimize processes, such as purchasing routines and inventory to reduce waste, and have collaborations with Stadsmissionen in various locations, Räddningsmissionen in Gothenburg, and Karma, among others.
